CC BY 4.0 License. 20 Abstract 21 This study analyzes mechanisms of long-range transport of aerosol and aerosol chemical 22 characteristics in and around East and Southeast Asia. Ground-based size-resolved aerosol 23 measurements collected at the Manila Observatory in Metro Manila, Philippines from July - 24 October 2018 were used to identify and contrast high and low aerosol loading events. Multiple 25 data sources, including models, remote-sensing, and in situ measurements, are used to analyze 26 the impacts of long-range aerosol transport on Metro Manila and the conditions at the local and 27 synoptic scales facilitating this transport. Evidence of long-range transport of biomass burning 28 aerosol from the Maritime Continent was identified through model results and the presence of 29 biomass burning tracers (e.g. K, Rb) in the ground-based measurements. The impacts of 30 emissions transported from continental East Asia are also identified; for one of the events 31 analyzed, this transport was facilitated by the nearby passage of a typhoon. Changes in the 32 aerosol size distributions, water-soluble chemical composition, and contributions of various 33 organic aerosol species to the total water-soluble organic aerosol were examined for the different 34 cases. The events impacted by biomass burning transport had the overall highest concentration of 35 water-soluble organic acids, while the events impacted by long-range transport from continental 36 East Asia, showed high percent contributions from shorter chain dicarboxylic acids (i.e. oxalate) 37 that are often representative of photochemical and aqueous processing in the atmosphere. The 38 low aerosol loading event was subject to a larger precipitation accumulation than the high 39 aerosol events, indicative of wet scavenging as an aerosol sink in the study region. This low 40 aerosol event was characterized by a larger relative contribution from supermicrometer aerosols 41 and had a higher percent contribution from longer-chain dicarboxylic acids (i.e. maleate) to the 42 water-soluble organic aerosol fraction. Results of this study have implications for better 43 understanding of the transport and chemical characteristics of aerosol in a highly-populated 44 region that has thus far been difficult to measure through remote-sensing methods. Furthermore, 45 findings associated with the effects of air mass mixing on aerosol physiochemical properties are 46 applicable to other global regions impacted by both natural and anthropogenic sources. 47 2 https://doi.org/10.5194/acp-2019-436 Preprint.

Introduction 49 Better understanding of long-range transport of aerosol is critical for determining the fate 50 of atmospheric emissions and improving models of atmospheric aerosol. Nutrients (e.g. Duce et 51 al., 1991; Artaxo et al., 1994), bacteria (e.g. Bovallius et al., 1978; Maki et al., 2019), and 52 pollutants (e.g. Nordø, 1976; Lyons et al., 1978; Lindqvist et al., 1991) can be transported 53 through the atmosphere over large distances across the globe. Atmospheric aerosol can undergo 54 physiochemical changes through photochemical and aqueous-processing mechanisms such that 55 their characteristics at the emission source can be quite different from those farther downwind 56 (e.g. Yokelson et al., 2009; Akagi et al., 2012). Large uncertainties remain in atmospheric 57 aerosol models due to impacts of aqueous processing and wet scavenging on aerosol (Kristiansen 58 et al., 2016; Xu et al., 2019). Although impacts and processes of long-range aerosol transport 59 have worldwide applicability, the strong facilitation of transport by synoptic scale conditions 60 necessitates detailed analyses of transport events at the regional level. 61 Both natural and anthropogenic emissions contribute to atmospheric aerosol worldwide. 62 However, the plethora of both types of sources in and around the Southeast (SE) Asia, the 63 proximity of islands and continental regions in SE and East Asia, and the large, growing 64 population makes SE Asia a prime candidate for the study of long-range transport of atmospheric 65 aerosol. Moreover, the extensive cloud coverage and precipitation during certain times of the 66 year in SE Asia allow for an examination of the effects of aqueous processing and wet 67 scavenging. Characterizations of aerosol in mainland SE Asia and the Maritime Continent (MC), 68 which includes the islands south of the Philippines and north of Australia (e.g. islands part of 69 Malaysia and Indonesia), have found major emission sources to be industrial activities, shipping, 70 urban mega-cities, and biomass burning (Reid et al., 2013). In addition, natural emission sources, 71 including marine emissions, plant life, and occasionally volcanic eruptions, intermingle with 72 anthropogenic emissions. Mixing of aerosol from anthropogenic and biogenic sources has been 73 noted to be influential in the overall production of secondarily produced aerosol via gas-to- 74 particle conversion processes (Weber et al., 2007; Goldstein et al., 2009; Brito et al., 2018). In 75 addition, the mixing of marine and biomass burning emissions can produce compositional 76 changes, such as enhancements in chloride depletion (e.g. Braun et al., 2017) and 77 methanesulfonate (MSA) production (Sorooshian et al., 2015). The mechanisms governing 78 aerosol changes in mixed air masses have wide-ranging and complex impacts and require further 79 study in regions, such as SE Asia, that are impacted by multiple aerosol emission sources. 80 One major contributor to atmospheric aerosol in SE Asia and the MC that has received 81 considerable attention is biomass burning. Biomass burning in SE Asia appears to be dominated 82 by anthropogenic activities, such as peatland burning (Graf et al., 2009; Reid et al., 2013; Latif et 83 al., 2018) and rice straw open field burning (Gadde et al., 2009). However, current satellite 84 retrievals underestimate the true emissions in the region (Reid et al., 2013). Identification of 85 biomass burning emissions in the MC using satellite-based observations is difficult for numerous 86 reasons, including the characteristics of fires common to the region (e.g. low-temperature peat- 87 burning) and abundant cloud cover (Reid et al., 2012, 2013). However, the potential for long- 88 range transport of biomass burning emissions from the MC has received considerable attention 89 (Wang et al., 2013; Xian et al., 2013; Reid et al., 2016a; Atwood et al., 2017; Ge et al., 2017; 90 Song et al., 2018). In order to better understand the prevalence and fate of biomass burning 91 emissions in the MC and SE Asia, both in situ measurements and modeling studies are needed. 92 Insights into the fate of biomass burning emissions in the atmosphere are crucial and applicable 3 https://doi.org/10.5194/acp-2019-436 Preprint. Discussion started: 30 August 2019 c Author(s) 2019. CC BY 4.0 License. 93 on a global scale, especially since studies have indicated an increasing trend in biomass burning 94 worldwide (Flannigan et al., 2009, 2013). 95 As a mega-city in SE Asia, Metro Manila, Philippines (Population ~12.88 million; 96 Philippine Statistics Authority, 2015) is a prime location for the study of locally-produced urban 97 anthropogenic aerosol (Kim Oanh et al., 2006) that is mixed with biogenic, natural, and 98 anthropogenic pollutants from upwind areas. Previous research conducted at the Manila 99 Observatory (MO) in Quezon City, Metro Manila characterized seasonal trends in PM2.5 100 (particulate matter (PM) with aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 μm) and sources of measured 101 particles, with traffic emissions being the major source at MO (Simpas et al., 2014). Additional 102 studies have further characterized vehicular emissions by focusing on black carbon (BC) 103 particulate concentrations in sites around the Metro Manila region, including near roadways 104 (Bautista et al., 2014; Kecorius et al., 2017; Alas et al., 2018). Due to very high population 105 density in Metro Manila, it is expected that many of the urban PM sampling sites are highly 106 affected by local anthropogenic sources as opposed to long-range transport. However, the 107 proximity of the Philippines to other islands and continental Asia raises the question of the 108 relative impacts of long-range transport as opposed to local emissions on not just Metro Manila, 109 but also downwind regions. 110 Long-range transport to the Philippines varies by season since there is a strong change in 111 weather patterns throughout the year (Bagtasa et al., 2018). Another study of the aerosol over the 112 South China Sea (SCS), which is bordered to the east by the Philippines, found seasonal changes 113 in aerosol emission sources, with year-round anthropogenic pollution, smoke from the MC 114 between August – October, and dust from northern continental Asia between February – April 115 (Lin et al., 2007).

  • The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY of ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University Ofhong Kong
    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

This paper aims to present a relatively comprehensive linguistic picture of SM by overviewing current studies, particularly on the variations that distinguish SM from other Mandarin varieties, and to serve as a reference for future studies on SM. This paper notes that (a) current studies have often provided general descriptions of the variations, but less on individual variations that may lead to more theoretical discussions; (b) the studies on SM are primarily based on the comparison with Mainland China Mandarin; (c) language contact has been taken as the major contributor of the variation in SM, whereas other factors are often neglected; and (d) corpora with SM data are comparatively less developed and the evaluation of data has remained largely in descriptive statistics.

  • Female Fabrications: an Examination of the Public and Private Aspects of Nüshu
    FEMALE FABRICATIONS: AN EXAMINATION OF THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE ASPECTS OF NÜSHU Ann-Gee Lee A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2008 Committee: Sue Carter Wood, Advisor Jaclyn Cuneen Graduate Faculty Representative Kristine L. Blair Richard Gebhardt ii © 2008 Ann-Gee Lee All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Sue Carter Wood, Advisor Nüshu is a Chinese women's script believed to have been invented and used before the Cultural Revolution. For about a couple centuries, Nüshu was used by uneducated rural women in Jiangyong County, Hunan Province, in China to communicate and correspond with one another, cope with their hardships, and promote creativity. Its complexity lies in the fact that it may come in different forms: written on paper fans or silk-bound books; embroidered on clothing and accessories; or sung while a woman or group of women were doing their domestic work. Although Nüshu is an old and somewhat secret female language which has been used for over 100 years, it has only been an academic field of study for about 25 years. Further, in the field of rhetoric and composition, despite the enormous interest in women's rhetorics and material culture, sources on Nüshu in relation to the two fields are scarce. In relation to Nüshu, through examinations of American domestic arts, such as quilts, scrapbooking, and so on, material rhetoric is slowly becoming a significant field of study. Elaine Hedges explains, “Recent research has focused on ‘ordinary women' whose household work comprised, defined, and often circumscribed their lives: the work of cooking, cleaning, and sewing that women traditionally and perpetually performed and has gone unheralded until now” (294).

  • Asian American Naming Preferences and Patterns
    "They Call Me Bruce, But They Won't Call Me Bruce Jones:" Asian American Naming Preferences and Patterns Ellen Dionne Wu Los Angeles, California The names of Asian Americans are indicative of their individual and collective experiences in the United States. Asian immigrants and their descendants have created, modified, and maintained their names by individual choice and by responding to pressures from the dominant . Anglo-American society. American society's emphasis on conformity has been a major theme in the history of Asian American naming conventions (as it has been for other groups), but racial differences and historical circumstances have forced Asian Americans to develop more fluid and more complex naming strategies as alternatives to simply adopting Anglo names, a common practice among European immigrants, thus challenging the paradigms of European-American assimilation and naming practices. Donald Duk does not like his name. Donald Duk never liked his name. He hates his name. He is not a duck. He is nota cartoon character. He does not go home to sleep in Disneyland every night. ... "Only the Chinese are stupid enough to give a kid a stupid name like Donald Duk," Donald Duk says to himself ... Donald Duk's father's name is King. King Duk. Donald hates his father's name. He hates being introduced with his father. "This is King Duk, and his son Donald Duk." Mom's name is Daisy . "That's Daisy Duk, and her son Donald .... " His own name is driving him crazy!

The names also reflect the beliefs and religion of Singapore Chinese. More significantly, a change of identity and representation is reflected in the names of earlier settlers and Singapore Chinese today. This paper aims to show the general naming traditions of Chinese in Singapore as well as a change in ideology and trends due to globalization. Keywords Singapore, Chinese, names, identity, beliefs, globalization. 1. Introduction When parents choose a name for a child, the name necessarily reflects their thoughts and aspirations with regards to the child. These thoughts and aspirations are shaped by the historical, social, cultural or spiritual setting of the time and place they are living in whether or not they are aware of them. Thus, the study of names is an important window through which one could view how these parents prefer their children to be perceived by society at large, according to the identities, roles, values, hierarchies or expectations constructed within a social space.
